You sound like a really irresponsible guy, actually. Sarah Palin is demonstrably unprepared mentally to lead the United States. She has neither the basic intelligence, the educator, nor now the experience, to run the country. I didn't like Bush's policies, but I viewed him as consciously implementing things I didn't like. He wasn't a moron. Sarah Palin might, in fact, be a moron, in the dictionary sense. She scares me. You scare me.

And, don't forget, the trio of Fry/Laurie/Thompson were also on "The Young Ones". I believe that trumps just about any other goddamn thing.

And the world's slowest DNS servers. I have FIOS, and I love my throughput. But it's only usable part of the time because the router is constantly dropping connections or requiring reboots, and the dns servers require several seconds for one lookup. I know there are workarounds for this, but Jesus, how about fixing these problems instead of focusing on raw speed?

Or, most likely, they haven't bombed the lines because it wouldn't be a big television event. They want to make a big statement, and killing and maiming 40 people at Newark International, with no video except after-the-fact, isn't very telegenic.

Either your sense of humor is really sophisticated, or you're asstastically (sp?) stupid.

Does he have to use a winky emoticon for you to recognize that he was being facetious? You're trying to sound so "arch" but you're just demonstrating that you're a dumbass. You're welcome.

What a dumbass.

Applied the patch. Everything runs faster, yet loading a slashdot page still locks everything up tight. WTF is slashdot doing?

Pure gold, baby.

A. Kill all the debt collectors B. Kill all the lawyers There, fixed that for you.

The final scene in "Big Night." It very quickly became legendary. Great movie.

It should also be "Right" and "you're". Congratulations, in a three word sentence you managed to make three mistakes. You're batting 1.0!

You sound like a complete tool. I bet everybody at the office hates your guts. Go eat a bag of dicks.

But which is Kaiser Wilhelm? Excellent WWI reference. Wish I could mod you up.

Oh my god, shut up. You've clearly never had to write code to order, quickly. Yeah, just write your gui from scratch for every application. Roll your own socket server and communication protocol, too. Heck, if they want data analysis make sure you write your own stats package, too. Why do you want to reinvent the wheel on every project? I can understand bespoke suits, watches, cars. Heck, even Swiss watches aren't completely hand crafted. The movements are produced in factories custom designed to do nothing else. But anyway, software isn't decoration -- it's engineering. Your way is the stupid, expensive, error prone way.
